Contracts are like a double-edged sword — wielded correctly, they can quickly accumulate wealth; wielded incorrectly, they can wipe out your capital in an instant. My own trading style is quite aggressive: I split 300U into 10 parts, each time investing only 30U with 100x leverage. When the market moves in the right direction, just one point can double the capital; in the opposite direction, it’s an instant wipeout. It sounds crazy, but as long as you strictly follow discipline, you can survive in this knives-and-swords battlefield.



**Key Rule 1: Cut losses and run, don’t hope for a rebound**
I’ve suffered two big liquidation losses early on because I couldn’t bear to cut losses, always waiting for a market rebound to save the position. The result? Only when the account was wiped out did I realize — the market shows no mercy to any gambler. When reaching the stop-loss level, you must exit. Although accepting losses is tough, it’s better than holding on until liquidation, as at least you preserve the capital that can be used to rebound later.

**Key Rule 2: Stop trading immediately after five consecutive losses**
Market chaos is the easiest time to get chopped. I’ve set up a circuit breaker: after five wrong trades, I shut down immediately, no revenge trades. Rest for one night, then review the charts the next day. Usually, those troubles evaporate, and the previous entanglements are just ineffective moves.

**Key Rule 3: Take half of the profit every time you earn 3000U**
The numbers in my account are just paper wealth, which can evaporate at any time. My strict rule is: once the cumulative profit reaches 3000U, I withdraw 50% to a cold wallet. Only assets that are truly in hand count as real profit. Don’t get blinded by thoughts like “just one more doubling and it’ll be perfect,” which can lead to an empty basket in the end.

**Key Rule 4: Only trade in one-sided trends, never touch sideways markets**
In clear uptrends or downtrends, 100x leverage acts like a rocket booster; but in sideways consolidation, it turns into a harvesting machine for chives. When the direction is uncertain, I choose to lie flat and watch, never blindly place orders again. When the trend becomes clear, a decisive strike is far more efficient than frequent tinkering.

**Key Rule 5: Never risk more than 10% of your capital on a single position**
Don’t dream of hitting the jackpot with full margin overnight. To win, you first need to survive. I insist on trading only with 30U each time — enough to lose, steady to win. Small positions help maintain a stable mindset, allowing you to stay clear-headed and avoid being carried away by candlestick fluctuations.

Focusing on main cryptocurrencies like BTC, ETH, SOL, and BNB, I’ve summarized this methodology based on years of trading experience. The core is: learn to manage losses, master position discipline, and only then can you build a truly profitable system of your own.
BTC-1.12%
ETH-0.82%
SOL-1.77%
BNB-0.26%

Paper wealth is all virtual; cutting losses is the real way, brother.

Honestly, these rules don't sound very new, and the key is still execution... I myself am stuck on the phrase "Next time for sure."

Basically, living is more important than making money. I only realized this after experiencing a liquidation.

Honestly, making five mistakes in a row and then stopping deserves a thumbs up. I understand this much better than many gamblers. Really, taking out 50% with 3000U is the move of a seasoned trader. I previously fell for greed. Leverage of 100x sounds exciting, but when your account is wiped out, it’s not fun anymore. I have the right to speak on this. Holding a small position can indeed last longer; those with full positions are long gone. This set of rules may sound rigid, but it’s a hundred times more reliable than mindless all-in gambling. Making money still requires discipline; otherwise, it’s no different from gambling. Your method actually has some logic. 100x leverage, a one-point spread can cause liquidation. Honestly, this is not trading, it’s playing with fire. There’s nothing wrong with setting stop-losses, but it’s really uncomfortable to execute them. Everyone wants to hold on. Taking profits at 3000U each time is the way of those who last the longest. Remember that. Position discipline is more important than anything else. Without this, everything else is just talk.

Really? I only learned after being liquidated several times.
